How can women call men sexist when they use sex to get what they want?

Question

Or withhold sex...

Answer 1

you really shouldn't generalise about women, not all women are that shallow that they use sex as a tool to get what they want!! but you do have a point, it works both ways, men can be very sexist but so can women. just for the record, i've never called any man a sexist!

; )

Answer 2

Because so many women think with their feelings and not with common sense, and women can be masters at manipulation. Women also seem to be bitter about the very things the were asking to have in the first place, meaning equality. I really don't know what it all comes down to, and I'm not saying that men don't do these things either (because some of them do), but it is unfair, I think, for women to generalize all men as being sexist because there are plenty of men out there who aren't, and I think that many women might be surprised at just how many good men there really are out there.

Answer 3

That's a nice stereotype. I've never done that- nor could I. My husband could care less about sex. But your question doesn't make sense anyhow- being sexist has nothing to with the physical act of intercourse. It means that men think they are the better sex and treat women unequally.

If I could get what I wanted, using sex, that would be cool!!

Answer 4

Being sexist does not mean that you use sex to get what they want. Being sexist means the discrimination on and/or hatred against people based on their sex rather than their individual merits, but can also refer to any and all systemic differentiations based on the sex of the individuals.

Sexism can refer to subtly different beliefs or attitudes:

The belief that one sex is superior to or more valuable than the other;
The belief that one gender is superior to or more valuable than the other;
Female chauvinism or male chauvinism
The attitude of misogyny (hatred of females) or misandry (hatred of males); as well as
The attitude of imposing a limited and/or false notion of masculinity on males and a limited and/or false notion of femininity on females.
A feeling of distrust towards the opposite sex, most frequently operating at unconscious level.

Answer 5

Not all women use sex to get what they want.
Woman call man sexist because of what happen in the past.
Why you think blacks are still called african americans. Why cant they just be called americans. Womans who use sex to get what they want, dont you refer them as whore, or slats?
Not trying to swear there, just trying to make a point.

Answer 6

Sexism is commonly considered to be discrimination and/or hatred against people based on their sex rather than their individual merits, but can also refer to any and all systemic differentiations based on the sex of the individuals.

Sexism can refer to subtly different beliefs or attitudes:

The belief that one sex is superior to or more valuable than the other;
The belief that one gender is superior to or more valuable than the other;
Female chauvinism or male chauvinism
The attitude of misogyny (hatred of females) or misandry (hatred of males); as well as
The attitude of imposing a limited and/or false notion of masculinity on males and a limited and/or false notion of femininity on females.
A feeling of distrust towards the opposite sex, most frequently operating at unconscious level.

So I think you are confused by what it means to be sexist. Using sex to get what you want is most likely defined as manipulative.

Answer 7

You don't care if you ever have sex again do you?

But seriously, this is a point that bugs the hell out of me. The suffragette movement was a FANTASTIC idea, but there seems to be a minority of women who have still not realised that, by becoming equal to men, they lost just as much as they gained.

Answer 8

I don't think a Sexist is when they use or withold sex but when they discriminate because of gender. I use sex but I am not a sexist,lol.

Answer 9

It is the natural instinct bestowed by nature to the female of the species to entice the male, to propagate. That holds good for the human species also. "Every woman is an exhibitionist and every man is a voyeur", proclaims human psychology. This is nature's chemistry.

Answer 10

sexist means for example when they say that "women should stay in the kitchen". sex to get what you want isn't being sexist, it's being manipulative.
